The trigger has a stainless steel lock latch that automatically catches the trigger box and locks it in place when fully drawn. It's satisfying to use and feels crisp when shooting this crossbow.

TenPoint also added a new 20-inch MICRO-TRAC aluminium flight rail that is fluted to reduce the surface area by 50% when compared to a standard flight rail. The result is that the string can be drawn a greater distance from its resting position to the trigger house, thereby increasing the amount of flex in the bow limbs as well as the amount of energy stored in the process. This is different from a traditional bow and places the cams and string at the far end of the rail. The RS470 also has a 17-inch power stroke which is made possible by the bow's reverse draw configuration that points the dual flex limbs away from the shooter. These cams increase the amount of energy that is stored in the system and provides a strong boost upon launch which TenPoint calls Sling-Shot technology. The RS470 features RX-7 cams which rotate an an industry leading 404 degrees during the draw cycle. It's easy to see why this would be an exceptional crossbow for hunting game.
